I tried a wee plate, with a rivnut it behind it, as I can’t access a welder at the moment.
It pulled out, the plate bent.

I will weld a thicker plate in, post Covid.

Looking at the angles on the good side, they are all wrong.
So I might have a think about a redesign.

Quick question when I try and put my hand up the pillar (OSR/Drivers side) after removing the access panel there seems to be something plastic/rubbery up there, preventing access.
Any idea what it is?

It will be a sound deafening baffle, they are used in a few spaces on our cars.

Not that I know of, someone else may but I doubt it.

With boy #'s FIAT poorly and Mrs Citroen, the car has been pressed into service to get Mrs to work.

I went to Screwfix and got some of the plates, drilled and rivetted.

Fingers crossed they hold until I can get access to the welder, which is at work and still locked down.
